Stryker plans to acquire sister companies Mobius Imaging and Cardan Robotics for $370 million in upfront cash. An additional $130 million is on the table based on completion of certain development and commercial milestones. Stryker will gain Mobius’ Airo CT scanner, a mobile diagnostic imaging system. FDA first granted 510(k) clearance to an earlier version of the system in 2013, adding a pediatric indication for the product last year.
